[Thrombosis of the aorta in newborn infants]. / Thrombose de l'aorte du nouveau-né.

The authors report a case of a neonate presenting with thrombosis of the abdominal aorta following catheterisation of the umbilical artery. The diagnosis was established by ultrasonography in a context of isolated anuria. Immediate disobstruction by Fogarty's method results in cure.
